St Mary

Manton

Rutland

Small parish church, externally largely perpendicular but with C13 belfry to west, and a C18 chancel.

Architectural Features

Big C14 south porch with parvise, the stair going up in the SW external angle.

North transept much restored, and with evidence of rebuilding - either in C19 or more possibly in C15, to replace an eastern smaller transept.

Inside, nave of 4 bays with late C12 arcade: double chamfered arches on round piers with simply moulded responds, and some corbel heads.

Crown post and strut roof with ornately chamfered tie beams is dated on two of the ties, 1637, and 1804: possibly the roof was newly rebuilt in the early C17.

Furnishings: series of C18 wall tablets in N. aisle, and a single late C19 stained glass window, also in N.aisle.

C12 font, a round basin on a central and 4 surrounding chamfered shafts.
